Abstract

The results of actual field tests of a new class of Personal Imaging systems, the Electronic News Gathering WearComp (ENGwear), are presented. These incorporate EyeTap Technology to cause the eye itself to function as if it were a camera, and to allow the eye to be wirelessly tapped out of and tapped into, capturing exactly what the user is viewing. This brings the point of view of the camera to the same point as the user's eye, and also allows the user to allow others to wirelessly modify his/her perception of visual reality. Images thus captured are simultaneously sent and received live to and from the internet using IP-over-wireless technology. This novel application of wireless technology empowers reporters: ENGwear systems allow for a great degree of mobility, and are constantly operational and recording to a circular buffer allowing the reporter to never 'miss a shot'.

EyeTAP: Introducing a multimodal gaze-based technique using voice inputs with a comparative analysis of selection techniques
Highlights
- Development of a new gaze-based interaction method: EyeTAP (Eye tracking point-and-select by Targeted Acoustic Pulse).
Abstract
One of the main challenges of gaze-based interactions is the ability to distinguish normal eye function from a deliberate interaction with the computer system, commonly referred to as ‘Midas touch’. In this paper we propose EyeTAP (Eye ...
Active node determination for correlated data gathering in wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor network applications where data gathered by different sensor nodes is correlated, not all sensor nodes need to be active for the wireless sensor network to be functional. Given that the sensor nodes that are selected as active form a ...
Data gathering using mobile agents in dense mobile wireless sensor networks
MoMM '11: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing and Multimedia

Recently, there has been increasing interest in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs) that are constructed by mobile sensor nodes held by ordinary people, which has led to a new concept called urban sensing. In such MWSNs, mobile sensor nodes densely ...
